---------- Post updated at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous update was at 12:33 PM ----------

Hello Rudic,

I tried below it did't worked
Code:
awk '!/^ '
        NF && !/^ / {
                ofile = $1
                next
        }
        NF && /^ / {
                print $1 >> ofile
                close(ofile)
        }
'   / {OFN=$1; next} {print > OFN}' test1

Does it work to satisfaction as is? If yes, why incorporate it anywhere?

It checks for leading <TAB>s. If not found, use field as a file name. If found, print line into that file.

Try this instead since it is <TAB> separated:-
Code:
awk -F'[\t ]' '
        NF == 1 {
                ofile = $1
                next
        }
        NF == 2  {
                print $2 > ofile
        }
' input.txt

EDIT: Solaris/SunOS use nawk instead.

did you reallly replace the space-^I in those charset sequences with space-<tab key>?

It should work pretty much anywhere. Sp those char set sequences are either:

[<space><tab>]
or
[^<space><tab>]

Sorry it's hard to see those.... you can try [[:space:]] and [^[:space:]] if supported...

Code:
(sed  -e '/^[[:space:]]*$/d' -e '1s/^\([^[:space:]].*\)/ cat >"\1" <<EOF/' -e '2,$s/^\([^[:space:]].*\)/cat >"\1" <<EOF/' -e '/^cat/i\EOF' -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' input.txt;echo 'EOF') | sh

If we knew WHAT is "not working as expected" there might be a chance we could help. What's your OS, shell, awk version? What's the result of applying the solutions given to the small sample file you gave in post#6?
